Feeling stuck in a job that no longer brings you joy? Wondering if it’s too late to change careers or start your dream business? You’re not alone—and this episode of Unbreakable Mompreneurs is your wake-up call.

Join host Charisse Walker and guest Shannon Russell, founder of the Second Act Success Career Coaching and author of Start Your Second Act, as they dive into what it really takes to pivot out of burnout and into a life aligned with your passions.

After a successful 16-year career as a TV producer in Hollywood, Shannon hit a crossroads when she became a mom. Instead of staying stuck in a career that no longer fit, she took a bold leap into entrepreneurship—first by launching a successful franchise business, and now by helping women around the world transition into fulfilling second acts of their own.

This episode is packed with real talk and inspiring stories about:
✨ How to know when it’s time to pivot
✨ What skills you already have that absolutely transfer to entrepreneurship
✨ The biggest mindset blocks that hold women back from pursuing their dreams
✨ Why guilt and fear keep moms stuck—and how to overcome both
✨ How Shannon found her purpose after letting go of a lifelong career dream
✨ Practical steps for building a business that supports your family and your joy
✨ What it’s like to write your first book while raising kids and running a business
✨ And the one question every woman should ask herself before she puts off her dreams one more day...

Whether you're dreaming of launching a business, writing a book, or simply reclaiming your time and peace, Shannon shares insights that will help you stop waiting and start building your future—one intentional step at a time.

You’ll also hear a deeply relatable conversation about motherhood, legacy, and the importance of showing up fully—both for your family and for yourself.

🎧 Listen in and ask yourself: Are you living your first act… or is it time for your second?
